Don’t throw away any food for a whole week! Your Mission:

Mission Objective:

The Food Waste Warrior Mission highlights the issue of food waste in our society. From the resources to grow it, ship it, and produce it, to the greenhouse gasses released when it breaks down in landfills, food waste is a major problem. Kids help contribute to the curb of food waste by taking on the challenge of reducing food waste at home through things like smart shopping, proper storage, and cooking with leftovers.

To complete this Mission, kids will…

  • Read through the Mission Brief to learn about food waste.
  • Challenge their family to go a whole week without throwing away any food.
  • Use the food-saving tips in the Mission Brief to help reduce their food waste every day.

Mission Items:

When members accept this Mission, they receive a Mission Brief and a tracker to help them prevent food waste at home.
